The effect of persuading Marquis Gotha With just the mere fact that he was at the front,spirit On top of that, because he had been entrusted with authority, Marquis Gotham, on his own volition, persuaded the lords to surrender
Milton readily accepted all the surrendered lords and guaranteed the power And just in case, in order to prevent possible ave out an order to the entire army:
[Those who hurt the citizens of the occupied territory will be severely punished regardless of status Don’t disturb a single grain of wheat or a single handspan of their land]
The co the absolute authority that was contained in all of Milton’s orders, this wasn’t necessary But doing this showed that Milton was paying careful attention to the stability of the occupied lands
Because of that, there were no issues with the lands that surrendered the Lester Kingdodom to provide food and supplies for the territories in poor conditions
With Marquis Gotham’s Clout and Persuasion, and Milton’s realistic response, the occupied land’s lord and people readily cooperated with the Lester Kingdom And as this infordom’s army’s route all scrambled to surrender
In all honesty, they didn’t haveand in such a situation, the three allied kingdo the lands they took over and codo conciliatory politics
Even if they were Imperial nobles, it was natural for them to make this decision if they wanted to live Of course, there were some lords who rebelled, but Milton left theet to the Imperial capital first’
Milton picked the shortest path to the E as the lords on that path weren’t too rebellious, he ignored thefried
“Your Idom’s army has arrived in front of the capital”

Emperor Gilbert sat on the throne with a devastated look on his face He sat in silence for a long ti?”
“No, sire Just…”
“Just what?”
“They’re requesting to meet with you, Your Imperial Majesty”

In thewhat kind of decision he shouldit over, this was his decision
“I should at least stop innocent people’s blood fro shed any further”
It was time for him to put his ambition to rest All that remained for him to do as the emperor was to pick the option that would best benefit the E in the envoy frodomWe have to decide where to meet”
“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty”
A dohed bitterly once he saho it was
“So this is hoe ive me, Your Imperial Majesty”
With a calm expression, Marquis Gothauards protecting the royal family stared with furious eyes when they saw hiht for theed when Marquis Gotham was a traitor and a turncoat
Marquis Gotham left the cold atmosphere, but he remained calm
‘Since this is the decision I’ve made, I can only endure the hatred and resentment’
From the moment he had decided to follow Milton, he had already been prepared for this Marquis Gotham wasn’t someone ould waver from his decision with just this
“Your Imperial Majesty, Grand Duke Forrest would like to meet in person The location he has picked is the Square of Glory so that all the citizens of the capital can watch He has also said that the Lester Kingdouard, Your Imperial Majesty”
“You traitor!”
“What did you just say?!”
The ihts and the attendants couldn’t stand it any longer and began shouting at hile person who didn’t understand thebetween the two sides would eventually lead to a declaration of surrender fro the Emperor to surrender in a square where all the citizens could watch hi that square ates of the capital and allow the Lester Kingdom’s army to enter They had turned it into a process and made it see the Empire to surrender immediately

“Shut up, you traitor!”
“How dare you?! Who do you think you’re talking to?!”
“Your Iive me the order I’ll immediately slit that traitor’s throat, sire”
Everyone in the hall was angry; the chief of the royal guard was so angry he looked like he would attack Marquis Gotham at any second Of course, even if he attacked Marquis Gotham, it was a fact that he wouldn’t be able to handle the unarardless of the outcoer,
However, the Es because of his anger
